Strawberry Lips: How to Get the TikTok Trend
Share
Strawberry lips — a fresh, juicy, berry-toned lip look that evokes the colour and lusciousness of a ripe strawberry — is one of the most viral and joyful makeup trends to emerge from TikTok in recent years. Here's everything you need to know to get it.
What Are Strawberry Lips?
- A warm, rosy-red or berry-pink base colour
- A high-shine, glossy finish that mimics the sheen of a fresh strawberry
- A slightly stained, natural quality — as if you've just eaten strawberries
- A fresh, effortless appearance rather than a polished, precise lip
Choosing Your Strawberry Lip Shade
The perfect strawberry lip shade is warm-toned and sits in the red-to-berry spectrum. Look for warm raspberry or strawberry red, rosy berry with warm undertones, or bright coral-red for a more vibrant, summer version. Avoid cool-toned reds or blue-based berries.
Step-by-Step: How to Get Strawberry Lips
Step 1: Prep and Hydrate
Exfoliate your lips gently and apply a nourishing lip balm. Allow it to absorb fully.
Step 2: Apply a Sheer Base Colour
Apply a sheer berry-red or rosy lip colour with your fingertip or a lip brush, blending it slightly beyond the lip line for a natural, stained appearance.
Step 3: Build the Colour at the Centre
Apply a slightly more concentrated layer of colour to the centre of both lips. This creates a gradient effect that mimics the natural colour variation of a strawberry.
Step 4: Apply a High-Shine Gloss
Apply a generous layer of high-shine gloss over the entire lip, concentrating the product at the centre for maximum dimension. Choose a clear gloss or one with a subtle warm-pink tint.
Step 5: Keep the Rest of Your Makeup Fresh
Strawberry lips look best with fresh, minimal face makeup — a light base, a touch of cream blush in a matching rosy tone, and minimal eye makeup.
Strawberry Lips for Different Skin Tones
- Fair skin — a bright, warm raspberry or rosy red creates a beautiful contrast
- Medium skin — warm strawberry red and coral-berry shades are incredibly flattering
- Olive skin — a deeper, richer strawberry-berry shade adds warmth and vibrancy
- Deep skin — a rich, deep berry-red creates a stunning, bold strawberry lip
